Question

Lightning helps in nitrogen fixation.State true or false.​

Answer 1

Answer:

True.

The enormous energy of lightning breaks nitrogen molecules and enables their atoms to combine with oxygen in the air forming nitrogen oxides. These dissolve in rain, forming nitrates, that are carried to the earth.

(Atmospheric nitrogen fixation probably contributes some 5– 8% of the total nitrogen fixed.)

Answer 2

True, lightning helps in nitrogen fixation.

• The nitrogen available is present in the form of atmospheric nitrogen.
• It is in an inert state and cannot be directly used by plants or any other organisms.
• To be of use, it has to be broken apart to enable it to combine with other atoms.
• This process is nitrogen fixation and it requires large amounts of energy.
• The electrical energy of lighting breaks the nitrogen molecules apart which enables them to bond with the oxygen in the atmosphere.
• This gives rise to nitrogen dioxide which is a form of nitrogen usable for plants.
